Two new bunnies in my space today. I love this two toned cardi, but it was tricky to find the right fabric to go with it.
It worked out well in the end & this little sweetie will be one of the first girls in my new online shop, which I'm hoping will be up and running by next week.
Blue Bunny Two is sporting a fancy moss stitch cardi, she is very gentle and kind. We all need a bit of kindness in our day don't we? Sometimes I look at my bunnies and they seem to look back at me so quietly & lovingly. It's good to pause during a crazy, demanding day and let that wash over me, as mad as that sounds.
Talking of mad things I've been making a hilarious creature this week. When I asked Rosie what she would like for her fifth birthday (I can't believe my baby is turning five) she replied,
"I think I would like a Rainbow Snake, please Mumma."
So of course I decided to make it out of vintage sheets & pillowcases in a kind of rainbowy way.
So I did some unstuffing, resewing and restuffing. Phew. It still took a full bag of that Humpty Dumpty filling to satisfy Her Snakeyness.
I'm not sure if this is what Rosie had in mind when she requested a Rainbow Snake but I hope she likes it anyway.
How do you hide such a creature? Lets hope she does't find it before her birthday...

See you soon xo

Beck your bunnies I agree have a peaceful sweetness about them. I love the moss stitch cardigan, my favourite stitch. Congrats on the online store, I bet you'll be kept busy in the bunny making department. :)
I love the rainbow snake too! (and can relate to your concerns about how / where to hide it!). best wishes in preparing for your shop!
I bet it is way better than she has imagined. It sure looks like a rainbow to me. Love it. Love your new bunnies too. You have been a busy lady this week.
What a lovely request for a rainbow snake! I think it's the prettiest snake I ever did see.
Your bunnies are so cute and I love the variegated colorway too for her cardigan. Happy Birthday to Rosie, 5 is a gorgeous age. I like the snake, have fun hiding him so she wont find him.
I love the wool on the first cardy! Beautiful!
And the snake is fab - isn't it crazy how much stuffing it takes for these things sometimes?!!
great great great about your new shop! The bunnies are lovely as always and the snake is super beautiful I love your fabric choice!
I love the bunnies and the snake is absolutely beautiful (and big). Im sure your little one will love it (and yes, they do grow way too fast).

What a gorgeous snake! Especially 'cos she's made from vintage sheets! Good luck with your shop opening.
What a great idea with the vintage sheets!Congrats on the online shop and happy birthday to your 5 year old!

I love your bunnies thay are just beautiful. Your little miss will be very happy with that snake I'm sure, he's Awesome!!!
Your bunnys are so sweet and special. And now I'm thinking the same about your snakeys...
Your bunnies make me feel all warm and fuzzy every time I look at them - they are soooo sweet BEck.
You seem to put so much thought and lovely details into the creating of your bunnies. I'm sure you will be selling out of them very quickly! What a wonderful snake. My children also request handmade gifts for their birthdays which I think is so cool. Best of luck keeping it hidden!!
Coolest snake ever!
I'm sure she'll love it.

i swear, those bunnies dress better than me, and you are such a clever mum, your rainbow snake is fabulous {and what a great request!}
Ahh that snake is the coolest! I love it. So will she, for sure.
Actually, it looks a lot like a scarf I sewed this week. I'd better stay away from Rosie or we might snap. I have something for you from Knitter Sue. Now I have to see you soon. XX
Adorable snake! Keep the bunnies away from it, though...
Love all those vintage fabrics you've used to make your rainbow snake. Good luck hiding the "little' fellow!
Oh Beck, so so much to love about your creations. Thanks for sharing, you've made my day xx
i have a serious reptile phobia but i could cuddle that snake without a second thought. your blog is a breath of fresh air. happy birthday 5 girl
yay for the online shop Beck!!
how could she possibly not love her rainbow snake! that is amazing & it must be pretty big to be full of a whole bag.
hope Rosie has an amazing birthday with lots of kisses & cuddles & rainbow cake maybe.
hugs♥
the snake is amazing Beck soooo gorgeous and a great use of sheets!!! Rosie will love it. So excited about your shop too yay for you xx
I adore your bunnies, and that rainbow snake is gorgeous! I may have to steal your idea to use some of my vintage stash if that's ok with you? :)
My goodness - Charlotte looks just perfect in that dress. How wonderful that you found what she wanted. The snake is beautiful (coming from a girl with a snake phobia - that's saying something) and I love the idea of your apple trees. You'll have blossom one day as well as yummy apples.
Love it! The last pic made me laugh... Very hard to hide indeed.
What a gorgeous snake! Have you thought about dong a tutorial?
